Love watching Sammy working. You can tell it is a real labour of love for him. Walking motor cycle encyclopedia.

Fantastic, a genius at work. Good to see he ensures a healthy breakfast each morning as well! Nothing like fresh eggs! Take care, be well and stay safe.

Love this. I just bought a 1934 new imperial model 23 and these videos have really helped understand how things were done back then as I work on it.

Best prewar engine build video on KZbin. A lot of great tips here, they will come in handy.

Interesting. Have newer seen an Imperial engine in pieces. It seems to be a good design.

I believe the New Imperial 250 was the first production bike of that capacity to clock 100mph

[@Tal5258]

Hi Sammy where can I get a crank jig similar to that? Do Alpha Bearings sell them

[@mikecartlidge5355]

If you own a lathe you can put your crankshaft between the chuck and tail stock and clock it that way.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Japanese singles turn the other way.

Sammy needs to slow down so the camera gets chance to move and focus in the right place.
